GREEN SYNTHESIS OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES USING GRAPE SEED EXTRACT AND ITS CHARACTERIZATION | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Background: Nanotechnology (NPs) is a modern science technology with major applications, including industries in medicine and pharmacology. In this research, the processing of zinc oxide nanoparticles from non-toxic grape seed extract as a reducing agent has been used for cost-effective and eco-friendly green synthesis.

Objective: To synthesise and characterise zinc oxide nanoparticles mediated by grape seed extract.

Materials and Methods: Green synthesis was used to synthesise the zinc oxide nanoparticles. Morphological features such as the form and size of the green synthesised zinc nanoparticles obtained via transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Results: The results indicate that the nanoparticles mediated by the synthesised grape seed extract are eco-friendly, good and non-toxic. In the graph seed extract solution, the visual colour change observed indicates the presence of nanoparticles of zinc oxide. The particle size ranges from 20 to 30 microns, clearly demonstrating the existence of ZnO NPs in spherical form. At 410 nm, the absorption produced in the reaction media has an absorbance peak. The TEM exhibits spherical shapes and nanoparticles that are flexible. They seem to be structured in an open superstructure and cluster.

Conclusion: A simple, biological and low-cost approach to the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles using grape seed extract was conducted in this report. In order to know the efficacy of these nanoparticles, synthesised grape seed extract mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles can therefore be subjected to various other biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic assessment.
